[gentoo-user] Getting to grips with S/MIME in Kmail

[Mick]

Hi All,

I am trying to set up S/MIME in Kmail.  When I select the 'S/MIME
Singing Certificate' field in Kmail/Identities/Cryptography/ it fails
to find my key.

The error pop up says:
=============================
Key Listing Failed - Kmail
An error occurred while fetching the keys from the backend:
General error
=============================

I click OK and:
=============================
No backends found for listing keys. Check your installation.
=============================

I generated my key pair following the Gentoo Gnupg user guide and had
no problem entering the key in 'OpenPGP Signing Key' and 'OpenPGP
encruption key', under the same Kmail crypto configuration tab.

Are there any additional steps I need to undertake to make Kmail work
with S/MIME?  Does it need different keys?  What backend is the above
error referring to?
